Death of An Old Citizen.

The community was much shocked
this morning to learn that Samuel
Gallagher one the oldest and best
known citizens of this city died at his
residence oD Ohio street last night. 1t
Is true he had been ailing for some
time, but ne was not considered In q
dangerous condition and was
not only able to be out yes
terday, but up till nine o'clock
last night was able to walk about. At
that time he was taken with a severe
attack of suffering, and had great
difficulty in getting his breath. He
called to his wife for simple home
remedy, bnt few minutes after this
had been applied, he grew worse, and
before assistance could be called, it
was noticeable that he was dying. He
died as stated, in the presence of only
his wife and two friends who had
been hastily summoned. His disease
was caused by the closing of the lung
passages and hence his suffering at
the last was very great.
Mr.. Gallagher was aged seventy.
seven in September last, and with his
family came to this city in 1871, and
shortly afterward, in conjunction with
Albert Parker, of this city, went into
the grocery business. After a time
he went out of this business, and since
that time has had no particular occu-
patton until recently, when he again
engaged in the grocery business.
He was a lifelong and CONSTANT
member of the Methodist church, was
an affectionate husband and a truly
devoted father. He was the father
of ten children four of whom are liv-
ing, as follows: Mrs. LaRue, of
Austin, Tex, Mrs. Chas Roll, of this
city, Messrs. Samuel and Charles
Gallagher, of Dodge City, Kan. He
also has one step-son, Mr.. Byron
Taft, prominent citizen of Chicago.
The children have all been telegraph
ed for, but will not reach here
until tomorrow, hence no
arrangements. beyond the fact that
he will be buried from the Ohio
street Methodist church Sunday,
have been concluded. With many
friends the BAzoo, extends sympathies
to the wife and children of the de-
ceased.

The Crop Outlook.

1t is gratifying to be able to state
that the late rains have assured one
of the best, if not the best crop, for
this year, in Central Missouri, ever
known. Not alone is the corn crop
excellent but the cereals, such as
oats, wheat, ETC., show a marked in
crease in the yield over that of last
year. The yield in oats is from 40 to
IS bushels to the acre; wheat 80 to
so. Corn will average 30 bushels to
the acre, and in some places where
the soil is particularly fertile the yield
will run up to 100 bush
els and over. The hay crop is
also excellent and it is no wonder the
farming community feel elated. 1t
is well known that good crops in the
country induces prosperity in the
towns and the farmer who has pie
thoric pocket-book swells the Golfers
of the merchant. Hence it is a matter
for general rejoicing, that in Central
Missouri, at least, there is fine pros
poets for good crops. This fact will
materially help the state fair, and
also make it what it was originally in
tended it should be, fair in which
the farmer and the merchant can
strike hands and share in an enter
prise that now none can do more than
equal.

The Deserter White.

On the 18th instant, a man named
Francis d. White approached Officer
Barnett and told him he was a deser.
ter from Company d, 18th United
States infantry. He stated that he
enlisted at Philadelphia, Penn. June
8, 1883, and was sent to Texas. He
deserted in November, 1888, and
after wandering for three or four
years, he grew weary and wanted to
be returned to his command, the
whereabouts of which he did not
know. White was locked up and
Barnett wrote to Fl. Leavenworth to
know what to do with the confessed
deserter.
White was kept in durance vile
until last Thursday the 21st inst. and
the officer not hearing anything from
bis letter, he was given his free
dom and told to skip. He
did not stand upon the order, but
skipped at once.
Yesterday Barnett received letter
from Fl. Mcintosh, Texas, which
stated, from the description given,
that White was the man wanted.
But the bird had flown, and the
United States is still short one able
bodied soldier.

a BAzoo reporter yesterday that
among other news received from Cali
fornla was that a second fruit train of
ten cars left the southern part Of the
state on the 21st, to run on passenger
time. Crawford peaches, Bartlett
pears, pluns and grapes comprised
the shipment. This is the first time
asciduOus fruits have been shipped
from there, and the result of the ex-
pertinent will be anxiously awaited by
fruit dealers and partakers.

beer and while his team was
standing in front of Meyers Grand
Central dry goods house, the flies
alighted on them critters and they

Resumed Work.

Nearly month ago the we'll drill
ers, after having completed all but 20
feet of the 1900 feet which their con-
tract called for, met with a mishap by
the breaking of a piece of bit from
the drill, which so lodged in the hole
SIS to necessitate removal before they
could further 60 on. After remov-
ing that obstacle, they again
resumed drilling but had not
made but three feet further
in depth, when huge piece of stone
broke off from the side of the hole,
several hundred feet from the extreme
depth, and fastened their tools"
which are IS feet in length and weigh
over 2400 pounds. For over three
weeks, by various ingenious contriv.
ances. they have tried to remove the
difficulty and bring up the tools, but
not until $50 yesterday evening
were their efforts crowned with sue
cess. At that hour the stools" were
reclaimed and work was resumed.
By Tuesday next, barring delays or
accidents, their contract will doubt
less be completed.

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them
to do so But the more delicate chro-
nometer is made, the more subject it be-
comes to arrangement, and unless it be
kept always perfectly clean. it soon loses
its usefulness. What wonder. then, that
the human machine-so much more deli
cate and intricate than any work of man
should require to be kept thoroughly
cleansed. The liver is the handspring of
this complex structure. and 90 the impu>
rites left in t. e blood By disordered
liver, depend most of the ills that flesh ls
heir to. Even consumption (Which is
lung scrofula), is traceable to the imper-
feet action of this organ. Kidney dis
eases, skin diseases, sick headache, henri
disease. dropsy and a long catalogue OF
grave msladics have their origin IN a
torpid or sluggish liver DR.. PieIce's
golden medical discovery, by establishing
a healthy, normal action of the liver, acts
as cure and preventive of these dis
eases.
